Solution

Solution:Step-1(a)Diamagnetism is a property of all materials and opposes applied magnetic fields, but isvery weak. This types of substances have no unpaired electrons.Step-2(b)Diamagnetic materials create an induced magnetic field in a direction opposite to anexternally applied magnetic field, and are repelled by the applied magnetic field. In contrast,the opposite behavior is exhibited by paramagnetic materials.The electrons in a diamagneticmaterial rearrange their orbits slightly creating small persistent currents which oppose theext
